I Corinthians 15

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

notum autem vobis facio fratres evangelium quod praedicavi vobis quod et accepistis in quo et statis

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

per quod et salvamini qua ratione praedicaverim vobis si tenetis nisi si frustra credidistis

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

tradidi enim vobis in primis quod et accepi quoniam Christus mortuus est pro peccatis nostris secundum scripturas

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

et quia sepultus est et quia resurrexit tertia die secundum scripturas

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

et quia visus est Cephae et post haec undecim

After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

deinde visus est plus quam quingentis fratribus simul ex quibus multi manent usque adhuc quidam autem dormierunt

After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

deinde visus est Iacobo deinde apostolis omnibus

And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

novissime autem omnium tamquam abortivo visus est et mihi

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

ego enim sum minimus apostolorum qui non sum dignus vocari apostolus quoniam persecutus sum ecclesiam Dei

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

gratia autem Dei sum id quod sum et gratia eius in me vacua non fuit sed abundantius illis omnibus laboravi non ego autem sed gratia Dei mecum

Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

sive enim ego sive illi sic praedicamus et sic credidistis

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

si autem Christus praedicatur quod resurrexit a mortuis quomodo quidam dicunt in vobis quoniam resurrectio mortuorum non est

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

si autem resurrectio mortuorum non est neque Christus resurrexit

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

si autem Christus non resurrexit inanis est ergo praedicatio nostra inanis est et fides vestra

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

invenimur autem et falsi testes Dei quoniam testimonium diximus adversus Deum quod suscitaverit Christum quem non suscitavit si mortui non resurgunt

For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

nam si mortui non resurgunt neque Christus resurrexit

And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

quod si Christus non resurrexit vana est fides vestra adhuc enim estis in peccatis vestris

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

ergo et qui dormierunt in Christo perierunt

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

si in hac vita tantum in Christo sperantes sumus miserabiliores sumus omnibus hominibus

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

nunc autem Christus resurrexit a mortuis primitiae dormientium

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

quoniam enim per hominem mors et per hominem resurrectio mortuorum

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

et sicut in Adam omnes moriuntur ita et in Christo omnes vivificabuntur

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

unusquisque autem in suo ordine primitiae Christus deinde hii qui sunt Christi in adventu eius

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

deinde finis cum tradiderit regnum Deo et Patri cum evacuaverit omnem principatum et potestatem et virtutem

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

oportet autem illum regnare donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus eius

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

novissima autem inimica destruetur mors omnia enim subiecit sub pedibus eius cum autem dicat

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted which did put all things under him.

omnia subiecta sunt sine dubio praeter eum qui subiecit ei omnia

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

cum autem subiecta fuerint illi omnia tunc ipse Filius subiectus erit illi qui sibi subiecit omnia ut sit Deus omnia in omnibus

Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

alioquin quid facient qui baptizantur pro mortuis si omnino mortui non resurgunt ut quid et baptizantur pro illis

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

ut quid et nos periclitamur omni hora

I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

cotidie morior per vestram gloriam fratres quam habeo in Christo Iesu Domino nostro

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

si secundum hominem ad bestias pugnavi Ephesi quid mihi prodest si mortui non resurgunt manducemus et bibamus cras enim moriemur

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

nolite seduci corrumpunt mores bonos conloquia mala

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

evigilate iuste et nolite peccare ignorantiam enim Dei quidam habent ad reverentiam vobis loquor

But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

sed dicet aliquis quomodo resurgunt mortui quali autem corpore veniunt

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

insipiens tu quod seminas non vivificatur nisi prius moriatur

And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

et quod seminas non corpus quod futurum est seminas sed nudum granum ut puta tritici aut alicuius ceterorum

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

Deus autem dat illi corpus sicut voluit et unicuique seminum proprium corpus

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

non omnis caro eadem caro sed alia hominum alia pecorum alia caro volucrum alia autem piscium

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

et corpora caelestia et corpora terrestria sed alia quidem caelestium gloria alia autem terrestrium

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

alia claritas solis alia claritas lunae et alia claritas stellarum stella enim ab stella differt in claritate

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

sic et resurrectio mortuorum seminatur in corruptione surgit in incorruptione

It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

seminatur in ignobilitate surgit in gloria seminatur in infirmitate surgit in virtute

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

seminatur corpus animale surgit corpus spiritale si est corpus animale est et spiritale sic et scriptum est

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

factus est primus homo Adam in animam viventem novissimus Adam in spiritum vivificantem

Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

sed non prius quod spiritale est sed quod animale est deinde quod spiritale

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

primus homo de terra terrenus secundus homo de caelo caelestis

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

qualis terrenus tales et terreni et qualis caelestis tales et caelestes

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

igitur sicut portavimus imaginem terreni portemus et imaginem caelestis

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

hoc autem dico fratres quoniam caro et sanguis regnum Dei possidere non possunt neque corruptio incorruptelam possidebit

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

ecce mysterium vobis dico omnes quidem resurgemus sed non omnes inmutabimur

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

in momento in ictu oculi in novissima tuba canet enim et mortui resurgent incorrupti et nos inmutabimur

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

oportet enim corruptibile hoc induere incorruptelam et mortale hoc induere inmortalitatem

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

cum autem mortale hoc induerit inmortalitatem tunc fiet sermo qui scriptus est absorta est mors in victoria

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

ubi est mors victoria tua ubi est mors stimulus tuus

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

stimulus autem mortis peccatum est virtus vero peccati lex

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Deo autem gratias qui dedit nobis victoriam per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

itaque fratres mei dilecti stabiles estote et inmobiles abundantes in opere Domini semper scientes quod labor vester non est inanis in Domino
